128 PLAYERS CONFIRMED TO BATTLE AT THE 2025 WORLD POOL CHAMPIONSHIP
Over 40 countries represented in pool’s most glorious event
The full 128-player field is now confirmed for the 2025 World Pool Championship, with a truly global line-up set to compete for pool’s most coveted prize from 21–26 July at the Green Halls in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In partnership with the Saudi Arabian Billiard & Snooker Federation and the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Sport, the World Nineball Tour’s flagship event returns to the Kingdom for the second consecutive year.
This year’s edition will once again feature a truly global field, as players from over 40 different countries descend on Jeddah. From world champions to rising talents and seasoned legends, the diversity of this field reinforces the World Pool Championship’s standing as the most glorious event on the international pool calendar.
Reigning World Champion Fedor Gorst (USA) leads the 2025 draw, joined by former champions Francisco Sanchez Ruiz (Spain), Shane Van Boening (USA), and Carlo Biado (Philippines). Also returning are crowd favourites such as Joshua Filler (Germany), Ko Pin Yi (Chinese Taipei), Jayson Shaw (Great Britain), and Johann Chua (Philippines) – each seeking to add their name to the sport’s most exclusive roll of honour.
With powerhouse nations such as the USA, Chinese Taipei, Germany, the Philippines, Poland, and Great Britain all well represented, the World Pool Championship 2025 will also welcome players from Bahrain, Kuwait, Syria, Turkey, and New Zealand – a reflection of the sport’s fast-expanding global reach.
